Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Trauma changes how we experience the world, often leaving the body in a state of constant hyper-vigilance, anxiety, or emotional numbness. Anne provides a deeply safe, predictable, and collaborative space to help you gently process past experiences and reclaim your sense of safety. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she utilizes a trauma-informed, integrative approach to help individuals unpack the impact of relational trauma, adverse life events, and systemic stress without forcing them to re-live the pain.
Because trauma is often stored deep within the nervous system where words cannot easily reach, Anne’s approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy. She pairs evidence-based trauma practices with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and art therapy. These somatic and creative tools allow clients to safely externalize and process traumatic memories, somatic tension, and overwhelming emotions at their own pace. Whether you are healing from childhood trauma, navigating the heavy weight of grief and bereavement, coping with the trauma of a medical diagnosis, or processing birth and reproductive trauma, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from survival to genuine, deep-rooted healing.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, including the kind that doesn't always fit a single dramatic event, ongoing racialized stress, immigration-related trauma, or the accumulated weight of navigating institutions and environments not built with you in mind. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, to help process what happened and rebuild a sense of safety and stability. Many of my clients are first-generation professionals or Latinx adults for whom trauma is layered with cultural and immigration history. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Trauma and PTSD require advanced education and training to be effectively managed. I am proud to help clients navigate these complex issues, and have prepared professionally to do so. I have received advanced training in trauma through my graduate schooling at Northwestern, and am trained in EMDR through EMDRIA, the gold-standard and gatekeeper of this therapy. EMDR allows individuals to more rapidly and permanently process trauma, and is scientifically validated through countless research studies.

Danielle Keys at Headway
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, M.S.ED, LCPC
Trauma is sometimes unknown or related to a specific event in one's life. During the assessment, you'll be asked specific questions in order to capture if there is trauma known in your life. Sometimes trauma is carried around through no fault of the client, however, the client has to choose to do something about it. I use Person-Centered, Dialectical Behavior, or Trauma-Focused CBT approaches with clients. The goal is to help client's express themselves without judgement, to be heard, validated, and encouraged to make choices to minimize and accept certain types of distress.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals carrying the weight of past trauma, painful relationships, and experiences that still live in the body as anxiety, numbness, or feeling constantly on guard. I bring compassion and relief to the places that feel stuck or overwhelmed. . My goal is to offer a steady, caring space where you don’t have to do it alone and where healing becomes possible not just in your mind, but in your body and relationships too.
